The national executive council of the Zionist Organization of America, the ruling body of the organization between annual conventions, today unanimously approved a statement by its president, Dr. Max Nussbaum, calling upon the West German Government to ban what he termed “the nefarious activities of a group of German scientists and technicians engaged by Nasser to produce nuclear weapons designed for the destruction of Israel. “

Some 300 Zionist leaders from all parts of the country are attending the two-day meeting of the ZOA executive council. Dr. Nussbaum, in his address, said: “It is the duty not only of the West German Government to ban these activities by its nationals or citizens but the entire Western world, particularly the United States, which has supported and encouraged Nasser all these years, must without delay put an end to this grave peril presented by the manufacture of bacteriological weapons, chemical poisons and the use of atomic waste materials for military armaments. “
